Gua Sha is one of the oldest forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It۪s a technique that was used in ancient times when somebody fell sick. Hands or stones were used to rub different parts of the body to promote healing. In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), gua sha was systematically written into medical records.
